Race Tracks in Scale Proves How Mighty the ‘Ring is

Redditor SirDunny posted a few (North and South) American track maps in scale a few days ago, but this update to include great racing circuits from around the world proves one thing fairly handily: The Nürburgring is not to be messed with. Only Pike’s Peak and La Sarthe even come close to the grandeur of the ‘Ring.

Imagine now if we lived in a world that could include the Mille Miglia or Targa Florio on this illustration. It only highlights that, as important as the Nürburgring is—and how vital it is that we save it—it is only the last best reminder of what racing courses once were.

You’re right, Captain Ned. I didn’t mention the TT course since it’s only a race track for a few days a year—but then I go ahead and wax romantic about the Mille and Targa… Let me say it loudly now, Isle of Man knows how to host a proper race.
